The Big Deal response to British Gas & EDF price cuts - "pathetic"

11th February 2016

The Big Deal press release 11th February 2016.

Responding to the news that EDF
and British Gas are cutting their gas bills by just £31 a year when
their average standard variable bill is £1,100 a year (EDF), and
£1,075 a year (British Gas), Will Hodson of consumer collective the
Big Deal, said:

"These cuts are pathetic. Whilst wholesale prices have
plummeted, the Big Six have passed barely any savings on to
families and instead pocketed the money. It's also deeply cynical
for them to do this just weeks before the CMA publishes its report
into the energy market. The Big Six are desperately trying to
persuade people they are on their side but their disgraceful
behaviour over the years shows otherwise."
